He was imprisoned for being a potentially dangerous moron. If he had the thing in a bag he would not be imprisoned for it, if it were found after a truly random search.
"Legal experts don't understand fascism"
If there are any legitimate future historians, all 20th/21st C conflicts will be viewed as a game of thrones between oligarchs, their cronies, and their religions — no different to the monarchs that came before.
Our entire justice system, and all International law, is written by those who control capital, and they are free to break and rewrite is as they see fit. There is nothing stopping them from condemning genocide while committing genocide, nor from telling you that their genocide is actually the epitome of freedom™️ and justice™️. Our "democracies" will be viewed as Capitalist oligarchies that are, functionally, dictatorships — you can vote, but there is a statistical certainty that almost every choice on the ballot is determined by political "donations" (e.g. those who hold the most capital), and anyone who doesn't maintain the status quo is weeded out before they become a significant threat.
Don't worry. In the next 5-10 years crop yields will start to collapse, and double digit inflation will become the norm 👍
The greed will continue until ecological collapse.
The working class has been crushed by neoliberalism for 50+ years and there's still no justice in site. The oligarchs that control "democracy" know there's a high chance they'll remain insulated from all the suffering they cause. They are so confident in this their goal now is to remove the illusion of democracy.
Most presidents have done this. Whether it be bombing countries they're not at war with, trafficking drugs to enrich the war machine by arming enemies of the state, or invading foreign countries and committing war crimes based on their own manufactured lies.
Yeah. Unchecked Capitalism will do that.
If it's a "smart TV", it already scans the content you watch and phones home about it.
Who would've thought Neoliberalism leads to fascism, except the entirety of the left...
They do, and it will only be "official" when a Republican does it. Once they control the courts, it's game over. Nothing short of unstacking the court will avert a fascist dictatorship.
They also say it's extremely slow so a large line builds, and that this dystopian ad machine replaced a public water fountain.
Antitrust laws have been gathering dust while a fascist state propaganda machine established market dominance.
Outlook is garbage. Everything Microsoft does is garbage and consumer hostile, except for visual studio code. Anyone who's used Google business apps knows this. Teams is such an unproductive joke I refuse to work for any company that uses it. It's evidence a company is cheap and values cost cutting more than efficiency.
I had a family 365 account to backup my parent's shit. Even though their PC's were logged into their fucking Microsoft accounts, and backed up to OneDrive, Outlook displayed ads and couldn't be linked to their subscription without changing their account emails. Ads were also re-inserted into their OS, even though I already ran multiple scripts to disable them all previously. Complete joke. Cancelled that shit.
Your daily reminder that we all live in capitalist oligarchies masquerading as democracies.
Patriotism is ingrained from birth like religion — They're forced to pledge allegiance to the flag through schooling, taught little about the world outside the US, and constantly propagandised by politics, hollywood, and capitalism from all angles; non-stop affirmation that the USA is the greatest Democracy™️ in the world, and their Freedoms™️ are the free-est free that ever freedomed.
The researchers were also perplexed by the incredibly small sizes of these systems, only a few hundred light years across, roughly 1,000 times smaller than our own Milky Way. The stars are approximately as numerous as in our own Milky Way galaxy—with somewhere between 10 billion and 1 trillion stars—but contained within a volume 1,000 times smaller than the Milky Way.
That kinda self-explains why there's a supermassive black hole at the center of this young galaxy (all galaxies) right? As in the early universe was small and lumpy, with the first matter so close together, that it rapidly formed supermassive stars and black holes — maybe the density was so high that the first stars had no time to supernova and distribute higher elements; with billions of stars colliding into black holes over hundreds/thousands of years, each collision jumping the event horizon to insta-absorb thousands more stars at the speed of gravity/light — the first black holes going through a rapid period of exponential growth, getting to 50+% of their current size within a fraction of their entire existence.
Reolink and one other I can't remember seem to be the most consistently recommended hardware (actual security companies rather than cheap Chinese hardware rebranded by hundreds of drop shipping start ups). They only need internet access for the initial activation, and can be connected to home assistant or ftp server. I created an account with an alias email, then blocked its internet access from the router. It works fine on LAN and via tailscale.

NOTE: these wifi cams are not a "security" system. They're for basic monitoring and scaring your cat.
Broke timestamps. Everywhere. New replies will show "10 hrs" while the original comment will show "18 mins".
When viewing posts I see tons of phantom comments that seemingly have nothing to do with the post or are replying to something when they appear at the top level. Navigating to the post in a web browser shows dozens more comments (not from users I've blocked or anything).
Formatting of content across posts and comments doesn't match what the site does when I view it in the browser.
Thanks to the Memmy dev and any contributors, but broken software is broken software.
So, what's the best alternative these days?
